CHAMILLIONAIRE TO RELAUNCH WEBSITE WITH FREE DOWNLOAD OF "MIXTAPE MESSIAH 2" TO THANK FANS
Hey guys,
Chamillionaire has been working so hard, and traveling so much this year that it may seem to his underground fanbase that he has forgotten them. Not so, and to prove it, Cham is finally dropping the much anticipated Mixtape Messiah 2 CD, prior to the March 27th release of his sophomore offering The Ultimate Victory (Chamillitary/Universal Records), and offering it to fans for download, free of charge, the morning of Christmas Eve, on his newly relaunched Chamillionaire.com website, which will be live for the first time that morning.
"I have been working so hard the past year that I haven't had the time to feed my underground fanbase the way I have in the past." Chamillionaire muses. "I feel that the best way I can say thanks to everyone that has supported my music from the beginning is to give them "Mixtape Messiah . 2" for free."
Longtime Chamillionaire fans will know that Cham has always had a vast presence on the web, both on his own site, Chamillionaire.com and his MySpace page, which currently boasts over 21 million music plays. The new Chamillionaire.com site will be completely renovated with 3d animation graphics, updated pictures, video footage, downloads, Chamillionaire blog comments and the new Chamillitary mailing list. Fans will be able to sign up for autographed giveaways and hear exclusive music via the site's Chamillitary Radio station; both from Chamillionaire, and his new Chamillitary Records artist, Famous, who Cham signed to his label last month. Those not already familiar with Famous will be able to read his bio and see pictures as well as hear music from Chamillitary's newest.
Next up will be the DVD portion of Mixtape Messiah 2, which Chamillionaire will release in late January. This portion of the mixtape will feature up-close-and-personal footage of Chamillionaire from the last few years of his grind to the top - show footage, backstage antics and life on the road - from doing a promo tour in an Expedition to graduating to a tour bus for his Texas Boyz Tour.
"I have had a camera following me for years," Cham says, "and I have so much footage that I feel the fans should see. Alot of it is raw and it would take years to get clearances from all the people on it with me, but that doesn't mean the fans won't see it. There's personal footage that I have kept aside to help promote my upcoming album, "The Ultimate Victory", but the majority of it will be released in installments, for the streets."
Chamillionaire also adds, "Every artist hates illegal downloading and while it may seem to some that I'm supporting it, I really feel that people are just hungry for some good material. Hopefully, they will get a full meal with "Mixtape Messiah 2" and appreciate my consistency enough to purchase my real album on March 27th."
